Back to back

I’ve been told by midwife my baby is back to back. She said I need to try and get him to move round. I’m 30 weeks so still have 10 weeks to get him to move.
Has anyone else been told there baby was back to back while pregnant then they moved?

Ive not been through this but I have heard of people whose baby suddenly went back to back in labour (including my mum while having me lol sorry mum) so I would assume if the baby can do it last minute then they can turn front to back last minute too.

Lots of things you can do spinning babies wise to get baby in a good position too 🥰

At 30 weeks I really wouldn’t worry yet. Spinning babies is great.

My first was born back to back and labour was difficult and very long so it’s not ideal but ultimately baby can be born that way x

I’m trying to prevent this with my second as Yasmin referenced about the birth. A good tip I came across is to ensure when you’re sitting to try not lounge and slouch and have your belly button facing forward and out as much as possible.

Spinning babies, hip rotations and figure 8’s on a birth ball. Best of luck x

Yes mine was every which way at some point. Back to back, transverse etc but got into the correct position around 37 weeks and stayed there

It’s silly for her to say that.. baby still can move around many times before setting in position. There’s still so much space for baby to move, i would be concerned from 37 weeks or so but not before. I’m 31 weeks and feel baby girl turn many times a day

Subchrorionic haematoma

Had out first scan today at the hospital, saw the little heartbeat and measuring 6+4🥰
We also found out I have a subchrorionic haematoma, just wondering if anyone’s else has had or has one and if so was/is everything okay? We’ve waited so long and tried so hard for this baby and just worried. Booked in for another scan in a couple weeks but just curious
I work in a kitchen so my jobs very hands on which I know won’t help🙃

20 week scan call back

Had my 20 week scan last week and was told I have a low lying placenta with lots of scar tissue from previous c section. Was told I’d need to go back at 32 weeks for scan. Just received call from hospital saying consultant has reviewed scanphotos and needs to see me next week regarding placenta. Now I am STRESSED! Any ideas why they would call me back so soon and what it could be about ??!?

Advice please… 37+5

So since 1am I’ve had slight stomach pain not terrible just you know it’s there and a loose stool🙃woke my partner up saying think baby is on way but it hasn’t progressed to being any more painful just the pain is still there. So went back to sleep the pain is still there but more of an ache than contractions! So do you guys reckon this is a stomach bug or early labour? I feel silly like I should know as this is my 3rd baby but I only went in to natural labour with my first which was nearly 10 years ago😳was induced with my second

Private room at Frimley park hospital/ park side

Hi! Has anyone stayed in a private room in park side or on the postnatal ward at FPH and know whether this is possible after a c-section? I found it really hard to relax or sleep for the 3 days I was there after having my son a few years ago because it was so noisy and busy, and would love a different experience this time 🤞🏻

C section or induction?

I’m 36 weeks pregnant with twins. Both babies weigh almost 6lbs and I’m a petite 5ft2 55kg woman - struggling to say the least!

Ive been told a VBAC isn’t advised as I’ve previously had a c section which means there’s a risk of uterine rupture so it’s best for a planned c section.

However, they’re now saying they can’t fit me in until the day before I’m 38 weeks pregnant OR they can offer me an induction next Thursday!??? This seems to be really contradictory of their advice and I’ve no idea what to do.

On the one hand I’m so uncomfortable I just want them out, I’m not sleeping. But on the other hand I don’t want a VBAC or emergency c section.

Any ideas on what to do?

Waters being broken

I am 39+6 I have come into hospital as I have had some bleeding. I am also having contractions but I am only 1cm. I have been told I won’t be leaving the hospital without my baby and the plan is they are going to break my waters and put me on the hormone drip. Has anyone had this before or had waters broken and put on the drip?
